Default dunlop direzza star spec

I recently threw on a pair of 225 45 17 dunlop direza star specs. I have about 700 miles on them and let me say this is a serious tire it has more grip straight line then my drag radials did and the corner holding is out of this world paired with my coilovers this makes the xb a little bit of a handler. I would recommend the tires to anyone who wants to push the limits of the xb. I will be running a auto x this weekend I will let you know how they do but so far they are top of the heap

How long do you think they'll last? Ever had Falken Azenzis RT615's? Compare?

the 615's are garbage compared to whats out there now lol the direzza is at the top of the street tire class, and is knocking on the door of actual r-comps in many cases.

cant wait to see how they hold this weekend cory, now you just need some in the rear! so uh think you will be faster than me now?

Cant wait to see your review. Ive heard real good things about these. I'm up in the air between the star specs and Nitto NT05. Most reviews say nt05 is slightly better.

I am running these on the tC and could not agree more! Using them for AutoX and track days and they are working out better than any of the other tires I have tried.
